I am looking at a two flats in Kingston Park both have about forty five years remaining on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Kingston Park. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
